Hi everybody,
I'm sure there's a way to do this, but I can't find it. How can I execute
another .py file from my first .py file without using an exec* command?
They're both in the same directory, and it would be nice to have some
run("another.py") type statement as opposed to a big exec with absolute
pathnames and garbage like that.
It works the way I have it, but it just seems like a bad way in general to
do it. I'm runnning Python 2.3.3 on win32.
Thanks!

I'm really new to python, but there are several ways with the import
statement:
1) If the code you want to execute is not in a class but just like this:
File: other.py
class A:
pass
print "You've called me!"
then you can just import it with "import other" and the print statement
gets executed, like any other thing at column 0
2) If 1) is not the case i.e.
File: other.py
class A:
pass
def method():
print "You've called me!"
you can import it with "import other", too and just do "other.method()"
or "from other import *" and "method()"
